Shame! You want me to try and do it for you?
Sure.
Let's see I destroyed the Collector Base, FemShep, her name is Sara, Ruthless background, the Quarians made peace with the Geth, romanced Garrus, EMS around 4000, had Kaidan, Tali, Garrus, and Javik, I did stop TIM from shooting Anderson, and I chose the Destroy ending.
All right... BIG POST AHEAD. Edit: Dear God! Sorry about the formating.

All right, let's try this thing out.
All ships, this is Admiral Hackett of the Alliance Navy.
Admiral Raan has assured me that the quarians have
rigged a temporary communications buoy capable of boosting this
signal within the Sol system. All ships, if you're hearing this, please
report in.
If you require assistance, signal for help. We have ships capable of
flight, repeat, we have ships capable of flight.
We're still piecing together what happened. The Reapers are dead in the
water. We all saw the explosions. There's been no signs of activity in
the debris of the Reaper fleet. We've won. We don't know how, but Shepard
did it.
The energy emission from the Citadel, echoed and magnified by the mass
effect relays—well, it blew our fleet all to hell, I don't have to
tell you that. It scattered our ships, disabled most of our engines and
communications gear. But we're here. We're limping in. Alliance command
is in contact with the turians, the krogans, and most other members of
Sword fleet. The geth ships aren't moving or
responding in any way. Anyone hears from them, report in
immediately. Re-establishing communications is priority one.
We have contact with bases on Earth. We have a planet full of
volunteers down there, plus access to strategic resource
stores.
We're not sure yet what we're going to do with the Citadel and mass
effect relay so badly damaged. We're salavaging what we can. Obviously,
one of our top priorities is bolstering our dextro-protein food stores,
since we don't know how long it will be before we get resupplied. We've
got teams studying the feasibility of shipboard dextro-amino
hydroculture. We'll know more when we've taken a full inventory.
But we're going to make it, people. We're going to pull through. We'll
survive, we'll overcome, and we'll rebuild.
Hackett out.---
Post-Crucible, Day 41
Memorial speech delivered by Provisional Councilor Kahlee Sanders,
at the ruins of St. Paul's Cathedral, London
On behalf of the Provisional Citadel Council, and all member
races, I have the honor of addressing you today. We come together
in both grief and triumph, to honor the lives of so many brave
individuals of every species, who fought to their last breath
against the Reapers so that we might stand here together.
On this occasion, as we honor their sacrifices, I would also
like to announce that the Provisional Council has unanimously
voted to award Commander Sara Shepard the
unique title of Last Defender for
her service in the Reaper Wars. This
is a title that has never before been granted—and, we
devoutly pray, never will be again.
Although Commander Shepard's condition reportedly remains
critical, and
she cannot be here with us today, we nontheless
recognize that it was
her unwavering devotion to duty that
has allowed this day to dawn. Though we grieve for all we have
lost, we also look forward in hope.
We stand here, victorious, on the battlefields of Earth. And
above us, there are those standing on a multitude of allied fleets
who hear our words. We have done the impossible, done what so many
other civilizations over the immense course of galactic history
have failed to do: we have beaten the Reapers. It may take time to
re-establish mass relay communications and transit, but—because we
were victorious here—we have that time. We have a future.
So we grieve, but we also rejoice. To so many of those who gave
their lives in the fight: we thank you. To Commander Shepard, our
Last Defender: we honor you. And to each and every one of us who
stand together in this hour: I can imagine no greater privilege.
Thank you.

Excerpted from The Normandy: A Study in Heroism The crew of the SSV Normandy, minus Commander Shepard, were extracted
in the chaos following Operation: Hammer's disastrous final push. Shortly
thereafter Shepard succeeded in discharging the Crucible, and the
resultant shockwave of energy swept the Normandy through a destabilized
mass effect relay. The ship and crew were presumed destroyed.
However, after Shepard returned to active duty,
she campaigned
tirelessly for the recovery of the Normandy. Years later, when the first
intragalactic travel corridors were finally restored, Shepard personally
led the team that discovered Normandy survivors crash-landed on a garden
world. A lucky holovid still captured Shepard and
Garrus Vakarian at the moment of their reunion, locked in a
passionate embrace. A moment of hope and passion, stolen from the
wreckage of so much that had been lost.
It instantly became one of the defining images of the
Reaper Wars.---
Excerpted from The Normandy: A Study in Heroism The AI known as EDI was, of course, destroyed when the Crucible
'fired'. Notably, the crew of the Normandy chose to bury the EDI chassis
rather than attempting to salvage or repurpose its technology.
According to multiple sources, when Flight Lieutenant Moreau died in
the survivors' first year planetside, EDI's grave was opened so that
Moreau could be interred beside it.

From Conversations with a Friend by Dr. Liara T'Soni In those chaotic minutes following what we thought had been the
failure of Operation: Hammer, all Normandy crewmembers were ordered back
to the ship. Several of us objected when it became clear that Commander
Shepard had not been extracted from the battlefield, but the area
surrounding the Citadel beam had become a plain of slaughter. We had the
will to return, but no capacity to do so, and we had injured teammates
who needed to be taken back to the ship.
I caught Javik's eye from across a rubble-strewn intersection as we
were boarding our wounded into the shuttle. He blinked all four eyes at
me slowly and shook his head, just a fraction.
I don't think he could read my pheromones at that distance. I don't
think he needed to. I held up a hand, and he stepped back into the
shadows. It was my last glimpse of him, the sole survivor of a war fifty
thousand years old. He was a soldier to the end, and he obeyed no orders
but Shepard's. He could not abandon the battlefield.
In this book I have attempted to faithfully recount all of my
conversations with Javik, all that I observed and learned from him, and
the profound ways in which he shaped my thinking—about the
Protheans, and about ourselves. Although I must assume that the last
Prothean has passed out of the galaxy, the mark they left endures in
unexpected ways. They shaped us. We carry their legacy within ourselves.
And I will always carry Javik's memory, and pass it on, as best I can.

Excerpted from The Normandy: A Study in Heroism Major Kaidan Alenko, the galaxy's second human Spectre, had assumed
command of the Normandy following his extraction from London. According
to interviews with survivors, his efforts before the Crucible fired had
been focused on organizing a new ground crew with the objective of
locating and supporting Commander Shepard; however, conditions in the
theater of war prevented a second landing.
A year after the crash, Alenko initiated a transfer of power from
military command to a democratically-elected Settlement Council. Elected
as one of the first Councilors, he continued to serve in that post until
the ultimate discovery and rescue of the Normandy crew.---
Excerpted from The Normandy: A Study in Heroism Quarian admiral Tali'Zorah vas Normandy was suffering from infection
and severe malnutrition at the time of rescue. She spent several months
in intensive care before being transferred to the Migrant Fleet for
long-term convalescence. During this time, Tali'Zorah wrote a biography of
Commander Shepard—
Unbroken Resolve—that has since
achieved five printings and remains a definitive source for students of
the Reaper Wars.
Following her release from medical care, Tali'Zorah retired from the
quarian admiralty and entered into civilian life on Rannoch.

Excerpted from The Normandy: A Study in Heroism Accounts of the Normandy survivors are unanimous in crediting Garrus
Vakarian with many of the settlement's crucial early successes, including
the establishment of reliable security countermeasures against the
planet's numerous natural threats.
The limited availability of dextro-protein food stores was immediately
understood to be a serious survival issue. Vakarian and fellow dextro-amino
based crew member Tali'Zorah vas Normandy reportedly both subsisted on
starvation rations from the very first days of the settlement. Vakarian
insisted, however, on continuing to perform perimeter patrols, to share
in the heavy building, and to supplement the crew rations by
hunting—although he himself could not eat the food he provided.
Though severely malnourished at the time of rescue, Vakarian was among
the first of the survivors to give interviews and release his story. FCC
News partnered with Vakarian to produce both a well-received documentary
(
The Last Days of the Normandy) and an infotainment segment
"based on the true story of Garrus Vakarian." A subsequent
action-adventure spinoff aimed at children,
Archangel vs. the
Reapers, is entering its seventh season and has inspired a successful
line of clothing, toys, and collectible action figures.
"Garrus-mania" was fueled by the news that Vakarian
and Commander Shepard would be married in a private ceremony held in the
"Tahiti" region of Earth. Dubbed the "wedding of the
milennia," the event fueled a war-torn population's need for
catharsis and hope. Shepard and Vakarian reportedly accepted an offer in
excess of one million credits for the broadcasting rights to the ceremony,
with the proceeds set aside to establish a foundation for war orphans.---
Excerpted from The Normandy: A Study in Heroism Lieutenant James Vega and Private Westmoreland were among those who
chose to start a family during the years the Normandy crew spent marooned
planetside. They had two small children when the survivors were rescued,
and a third was born shortly thereafter.
After their rescue, Vega and Westmoreland returned to Earth to
participate in reconstruction efforts. "No time to lose," Vega
said in an interview. "Life's too short. I'd say that's something I
learned from Shepard."---
Email to Dr. T'Soni, from the Broker Liara,
You can't imagine how it feels to know that you're alive.
I think they'll want to pin a medal on you. And anything I can give
you, of course, I will. I've been running things while you were gone, but
I'll step back if you want to take over again.
So what are your plans? Books to
write, papers to give? Ruins to explore? A shadow market of information
and secrets to run? Or just a quiet place to live for a
while, with frequent
visits from your many friends?
You can have all of those things, of course. The galaxy is yours. May
it be worthy of you.
Always your friend,
Feron
